379,
Impossible individuals, impossible powers, six magical attributes—after hearing all these, Cyclone could only say one thing.
"Are we... getting further away from the point?"
"..."
"..."
"Hmm~"
Cyclone's mind was exceptionally clear, and Dudu had long known that.
Both of them wore a smile, feeling embarrassed about how they had strayed off topic.
"Let's get back to the original topic, shall we?"
Dudu settled back into a normal sitting position.
"Let me ask you again, Mr. Cyclone, would a mage be stronger if they could use one more attribute than others?"
Cyclone couldn't be bothered to respond, only giving Dudu a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"
Not waiting for Cyclone's response, Dudu continued.
"Having one more attribute will definitely make you stronger, that's for sure. So, Yuna is the strongest, that is accurate. However..."
As Dudu uttered "however," he raised his left hand.
A fireball formed in his palm, tinged with a bit of black aura, but Dudu still showed it off to Cyclone.
"This is a fireball."
After saying that, Dudu dismissed the fireball and pointed at the ground with his finger.
Like drawing, as he drew, a trail of flames appeared.
"This is burning."
Where he had drawn, it turned red, leaving a small pit behind.
Then, Dudu clenched his left hand and moved it over the pit.
Instantly, some bright red and glowing substance flowed out from his clenched fist.
"This is lava."
Lastly, Dudu wiped everything on the ground with his right hand and pointed to the side with his left hand.
"This is explosion."
As he finished speaking, a miniature explosion occurred where his left hand was pointing.
Because it was so small, one could hardly feel it was an explosion, merely a demonstration for Cyclone to understand its principles.
"I just demonstrated some variations of fire attribute magic, of course there are also ice blocks, cooling..."
While speaking, Dudu played with various transformations in his hands.
"For different attributes, there are naturally different transformations..."
After he finished playing, Dudu put his hands down and continued.
"The more attributes you have, the more transformations you can use, and when combined, it naturally becomes stronger. Yuna is indeed the strongest, that's correct, but also not correct. Why? We should ask, can magic itself... truly be compared?"
Cyclone quickly contemplated Dudu's question.
"Magic itself cannot be compared, how would one compare? Casting faster? More power? The most amount of mana?"
Dudu shook his head.
"Indeed those can be compared, but they are only using magic as a tool, not comparing magic itself. Yet Yuna is the strongest, in what sense? In comparison to what?"
At Dudu's final question, it seemed Cyclone found an answer within his heart.
"You're not implying... killing, are you?"
"It appears you've figured it out."
Dudu nodded.
"Yuna is very strong, she has the ability to learn magic of six different attributes. However, in fact, after Yuna was brought back to Seven Sins City by General Asmod, we did not teach her different types of magic."
With a hint of regret and a touch of desolation, Dudu continued speaking.
"Yuna is known as the strongest in the continent. Some might mistakenly believe, like Mr. Cyclone, that she is the strongest in terms of 'magic,' but have you noticed? The phrase 'the strongest in the continent' itself does not specify magic," Dudu sighed and explained further.
"For us, Yuna doesn't need to learn unnecessary things. Yuna doesn't need to become the strongest magician on the continent, she just needs to be the strongest weapon in battles. In order to make Yuna the strongest in slaughter, she will not bother learning the different changes brought by various magic attributes. She can use any magic attribute, so she will naturally learn the most efficient and meaningful magic," Dudu spoke at length, without even mentioning the term "specializing."
"The fastest, most accurate, and most efficient way to kill the target, that's enough. For fire attributes, Yuna will only learn explosion and ice shards. For water attributes, she will learn only healing magic beneficial to herself. For wind, she will learn how to enhance her scythe's power and jumping ability. For earth, she will learn some sensing spells. Light attributes will enhance physical abilities, while dark will only focus on tracking…" Dudu sighed once more.
"Yuna can coordinate the use of different magic alone, achieving effects that many magicians cannot duplicate," Dudu concluded the topic on Yuna after a long metaphor.
"By combining learned magic with simple chain reactions, it is enough to make Yuna the strongest presence in slaughter. But as for being a magician, Yuna… is not even comparable to a third-rate magician."
